Oh, I have a sense of humor.....when it comes to stuff that is actually funny. These commercials, however, are infuriating. And "The Touch" has been part of the transformers world since the the 80s, so of course it's gonna be used.

I assume Shockwave's going to bring in the Predacons because Megatron wants to find and hunt the Autobots.

Beast Hunters. They're hunters that are beasts.

Oh, I'm sorry, but to me, and anyone else in their right mind, find grown men as of 2010 who watch a show for five year old girls and make up a majority of it's fanbase are just sick in the head. GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!!

Afraid of cooties? No. I'm just afraid of falling in w/ a fandom that's weird and where some members may be stupid enough to do something to land themselves in jail.

Cute.

But the wait for the new season is going to KILL us. If only the Hub is smart enough to roll out the new Transformers: Rescue Bots eps so we can get our Transformers kick while waiting for Beast Hunters.

A show that in Season 3 will have a horror feature and a bunch of goth-ass ponies.

A show that had a big battle scene between "cute, sparkly ponies" and black-as-night shapeshifters with holes in their legs like swiss cheese.

A show with adult humor.

A show that homaged Doctor Who.

Yeah. This show is totally for toddler girls.

I get the feeling you only heard the theme song and judged by that. Have you watched one episode?

Besides, if we want to watch this show, we can. You have no right to tell us to go see a doctor. Our opinion is ours, your opinion is yours. You need not force yours on all of us.

Of course, we had to deal with the friggin' Cube and Tommy and G2, so I guess we have a thicker skin about goofy shite.

And don't diss FiM. I don't watch the show, but I saw a screenshot of a bowling episode that featured ponies based on The Big Lebowski. If The Dude can abide Ponyville, so can I, man.

...course, it doesn't beat the original MLP toon. Not the lame-ass post-movie series, the original half-hour special. Who at Sunbow thought it was a good idea to give the duties of making a show for 5-year-old girls to the crew behind the Dungeons & Dragons toon..?

See, here's the problem. The goal of the show's creators was to NOT make it for little girls. That's the LAST thing they wanted to do, as they HATE those kind of saccharine girly shows because of how stereotypical they are.

Were an objective observer to compare that show to other's of its genre, they would see distinct differences that diversify it from the typical female-based family-friendly cartoon, but one such as yourself wouldn't know that due to how you've already made up your mind about it based on false presumptions and such.

Just the simple fact that it has reached as broad an audience as it has is evidence alone that it is unlike anything like it that has come before. If so many find it that appealing, maybe it just is. To think otherwise like if it's hypnotizing people or something is pure folly, as that kind of stuff only exists in fiction, not reality.

Manterax Prime wrote:Afraid of cooties? No. I'm just afraid of falling in w/ a fandom that's weird and where some members may be stupid enough to do something to land themselves in jail.

That is completely ludicrous. You're afraid for being quote-unquote "assimilated" into another fandom if given the slightest chance of not hating something? Dude, there are TONS of things that I don't hate that I also don't like. It's called being indifferent. I neither like nor dislike certain things because I simply DON'T CARE. I don't make a big deal about them because I show them neither love nor hatred.

You don't want to be a Brony. That is FINE. But you're irrational (and quite frankly, unhealthy) phobic hatred make you seem like it has to always be all or nothing, one way or the other, and never in between, which is simply not the case. It IS possible to lack a fondness for something without also condemning it.

Manterax Prime wrote:Need I also mention that there are people who draw MLP fanart with sexual themes? Yup, they do that. Convinced yet. I aint letting up on this now that you've gotten me in ranting mode.

Seriouly, sexualy themed MLP fanart. If that doesn't scream "sick in the head" and "needs to see a doctor" then I don't know what does.

If they were human I wouldn't give it a second though. I'd say "that's perfectly normal to be attracted to humans"....because it is. But they're not humans, THEY'RE PONIES!!!!

Welcome to fandoms, home of all sort of strange people. Note how I said "fandoms", meaning that EVERY fandom has these kinds of people, even the Transformers fandom.

And what's more, some of the sexually-themed Transformers art isn't merely fan art, but OFFICIAL material. So if you're appalled by the MLPFIM community having that kind of fan art, you should be more appalled by the Transformers community having published, offically-licensed, CANON works that contain that same kind of stuff. By your logic, that makes the Transformers an even worse franchise than MLPFIM.

Gotta back you up there, Saberblade. I mean, seriously, I have seen some insane sexual fanart from EVERY fandom (Hell, I used to make it myself...look up "K-Girls" some time). Bronies are NOT the end-all-be-all when it comes to Rule 34, and if you're gonna judge an IP by its fans, then you may as well give up everything but reality shows because if people love a property, odds are someone is gonna love it a LITTLE too much.

And lest we forget, any TF fan who claims Bronies are freaks need only remember two words and then shut up: "Kiss Players."

So, let's get off this ridiculous subject and get back to what really matters: bitching about the toys we aren't getting in the United States.

This "ridiculous subject" wouldn't exist if that crazy wonam hadn't came up with the idea for the show in the first place and people weren't posting that stuff on the net.But she did, and they do, so it does.

And sure, they tried to avoid the stereotypes, but as far as I can tell, THEY FAILED.

Giant Robots: FTW! ALWAYS AWESOME!

World of mostly female ponies that use magic: Somebody got insanely drunk when they came up with this.

Hasbro.....This is why a whole lot of people are hating on you right now.

-facepalm-

Could have just went "Okay, whatever" and went your merry way. If you hate MLP so much, quit bringing it up here. Seriously, this argument is, to quote Bruticus, "really starting to boil my oil". Honestly, I think my ludicrous-ometer just broke.

And technically, most people don't hate Hasbro. We complain, sure, I'm the first to admit, but hate? If we hated Hasbro, they would be out of business right about now.

Again, I say, if you friggin' hate MLP, okay, good for you, but don't rant about it here.

As I said before, I want this to be a safe haven AWAY FROM MLP. Don't want me to rant about it here? Then please, don't post anything with it in the main discussion areas. Especially the topics accesed via the front page.

Calm yourself, man. You really need to knock it off with the trash-talking and disrespect of our opinions. You don't like MLP? Fine, but I'm sure you have better things to do than tell it and its fans off.

Not her fault that they do. Neither she nor the show promotes the perverted mindsets of those kinds of people. They do it by their own choice.

As one who has objectively compared it to other material, I have the justification to say that that is an incorrect statement.

Well, that settles it. You have a severe case of Equinophobia.

In all seriousness, no such place exist because it is extremely likely that EVERY fandom has its fair share of members who also happen to be Bronies.

The only group I can think of that doesn't have Bronies are the bunch of haters who exist solely to hate MLP, but that isn't a fandom, it's hate group.

Would it be bad if I said I own several horses (one of which is a pony)?

Play nice. Play nice on topic. We've had our little **** session about MLP. I lol'ed at Megatrons ads. They were done in fun, they're not going to end the world (if it does then we can meet up in the afterlife and you can go "ner ner ner you were wrong Burn") and they're not going to erase all the years of enjoyment you got from Transformers.

So back on topic. If I come back from watching Fringe and find it's still going on, I'll get cranky.

And I'll also restate that I don't care if you're a brony, I just want to come here and be free of anything MLP related because I'm getting sick of seeing. So I'm gonna finish arguing by saying to anyone on here who's a brony, I don't care, I could care less, but please, keep it to yourself and, if at all possible, off of the Transformers fansites. And my main problem is w/ the show, and when those abominations cross over into awesome things like Transformers and Doctor Who, most of us can't help but be extremely irritated.

There....I'm done.

Now, Hasbro, where's Breakdown and the Jet Vehicon?

@Sabrblade, fixed what? It's not just me. A lot of people really aren't liking what Hasbro has been doing nowadays.
